Route: China & Inner Mongolia (Xi'an to Beijing or v.v.)
Trip length: 17 Days
General notes: Kitty does not cover food while staying in hotels and hostels.
This itinerary is liable to change at any time before or during the journey. Although this trip is designed to stay in hotels every night, because of the unpredictable nature of overland travel, we may camp for a night or two and you should be prepared to bring along a sleeping bag and a roll mat.
If you were looking to combine China's highlights with some of the country's hidden gems and don't have much time to spare, Xi'an to Beijing is a good way of doing it. We'll take in the Terracotta Warriors, head through Inner Mongolia for an authentic glimpse of life in provincial China today, catch up on the glories of the Imperial past in Chengde and take a trek along the Great Wall. No visit to China would be complete without a trip to Beijing, and we'll end the trip with a guided tour of the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, as well as the less-visited Eastern Qing Tombs.
